Published a piece on 'toxic individualism,' the new Republican religion. "Selfishness asks, why should I give up something of mine? This is the mentality of Scrooge and the typical three-year-old.

A pile of receipts for selfishness, a rejection of community, and a misunderstanding of self-interest." #politics #history https://maryjaneosa.substack.com/p/self-interest-improperly-understood
